I’ll preface this by saying I like Desmond Bane and he is a good young player. But that max contract at this stage of his career is wild. He is nowhere near a max contract type guy. This would be akin to have given Buddy Hield a max contact after his 2018-2019 season. Obviously Bane is a bit better than that year’s Hield, but production is not too far off.

2023 Bane: 21/5/4 on 48/40/83 splits

2019 Hield: 21/5/3 on 46/43/89 splits

Meanwhile Bane got a 5 year max 210 mil extension while Hield got a 4 year/90 mil contract

Any general thoughts on his contract? Am I being a bit too harsh?
